' IMPROVEMENT IN BUCKLES.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 125,335, dated April 2,1872 antedated March 19, 1872.

Description of the Accompmzying Drawing.

Figure 1 is a perspective view. Fig. 2 is a front View. Fig. 3 shows howthe strap in connection with the buckle is' attached to the partsdesired.

My invention consists in making a harnessbuckle with three separatebars-via, A, B, and G-for the purpose of doing away with the twoleatherloops used on straps that appertain to harness orcarriages,thereby making a great saving in leather and labor in makingsuch straps, making them more durable and cheaper, as there are no loopson them to rip or tear out.

. Description.

Fig. 1 shows the three bars, A, B, and (J. Bars A and Care on the topside of the buckle. Bar B is on the under side of the buckle. D, in Fig.1, shows the back part of the buckle, which is made higher than theother part for the purpose of passing the end of the strap through, asseen at D, Fig. 3. BarA is to at tach the buckle-tongue and strap to.Bar 0 is for the purpose of passing the strap under. After itis attachedto the bar A the strap is then passed around the part desired, as seenat E, Fig. 3. It is then brought back under bars (3 and A, leaving bar Bunderneath the strap, bar B forming a loop to hold the strap to thatpart to which it is attached. The strap is then passed around the otherpart, as seen at F, Fig. 3, then under the front part of the buckle, andfastened by the tongue 9. The end of the strap is then passed under theback part of the buckle D, which holds it.

. Claim.

Having thus described very fully my invention, and the manner of makingthe buckle and using the strap with it, what I claim, and desire tosecure by Letters Patent, is

The herein -described buckle, constructed 7 with the bars AB 0, andtongue g, when the frame is turned up at one end, as shown, so as toform a loop between the crossbar G and the end bar D of the frame, allsubstantially as and for the purpose set forth.
